According to Texas law there isn't a time frame, but 3 conditions you need to meet and there is a form you can file with the county clerk office in your area. The first test you have to meet is that you have agreed to be married. Second you must have told others you are "husband and wife" Introducing someone as a wife or husband will meet this condition. The third is that you have lived together as husband and wife. This in Texas makes a common law marriage.

Yes. It is called "informal marriage." It as not as simple as living together for a period of time, as most people think. To be "common law", you have to have agreed to be married and after the agreement, live together in this state as husband and wife and there represent to others that you are married.
If you live as a couple for some period of time, you are common law married. The requirements are that you have: 1. An agreement to be married 2. Hold yourself to be a couple and present yourself as married 3. Live together
